Tapestry stock holds Neutral rating at UBS ahead of expected earnings beat

Investing.com - UBS maintained its Neutral rating and $105.00 price target on Tapestry Inc. (NYSE:TPR) ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, the stock currently trades near its 52-week high of $118.56, with analyst targets ranging from $66 to $142.

The financial services firm expects Tapestry to deliver first-quarter earnings per share that exceed expectations by 11 cents and anticipates the company will raise its full-year 2026 EPS guidance by a similar amount from the current $5.30-$5.45 range. The company has demonstrated strong fundamentals with impressive gross margins of 75.4% and has delivered a remarkable 80.6% return year-to-date.

UBS believes Coach brand fundamentals remained strong during the first quarter and into the second quarter, but notes that investor expectations already reflect a 10-15 cent beat and raise scenario.

The market may also be expecting Tapestry to increase its implied second-quarter Coach sales outlook from the current high-single-digit percentage growth, according to UBS, which could pressure the stock if the company fails to meet these elevated expectations.

The options market is pricing in a 7.3% move in either direction following the earnings report, slightly above the historical average movement of 6.5%.
